As things were looking for Dutch, Rovman Powell came from the boundary and hit a direct throw to dismiss Barresi for 64 runs in the 24th over. It changed the course of the match as West Indies picked 4 more wickets before the rain arrived. At that moment, Netherlands were 167 for 6 in 28.4 overs and behind the D/L method by 54 runs.
